What inspires you?
As an artist I have special interestin shapes and colour. Inspired by nature and standing in the field of abstraction, although with some license in figuration, I seek to work around those forms that escape every category - forms between forms - and whose entity is based on the question: ¿How do you name what is not known?
Describe your creative process.
Starting from figure-ground , positive-negative relashionships developed from the color generated by various layers in the body of the work, I seek to investigate the infinite posibilities of the form.
